Rashaan Salaam Passes Away

[thewolverines24]

Only 42. His '94 Heisman winning season was utterly ridiculous. One of the best college seasons I have seen in my lifetime. Losing to CU that year was heartbreaking, but watching Salaam the rest of the year was highly entertaining. RIP.

Where are you hearing this? Everyone local and with ties to CU is stunned and no mention of that at all.

The Daily Camera is the Boulder paper ....akin to AA News, so very legit.

Eben G Fine Park is also very famous/common spot in Boulder I have been to/through many, many times ...famous for tubing down Boulder Creek and at base of Boulder Canyon.

Certainly possible local fans/CU mum on suicide angle out of respect and clearly one thinks of CTE immediately...very sad, he was a good guy and very well liked.

Denver radio saying possible suicide now
